“Absolutely brilliant!!”

As soon as we walked through the door we were really impressed by the luxurious, immaculate accommodation. First rate quality throughout the house with brilliant views out over the dales. Loved the hot tub!

Loved the hot tub! Emma and the team were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. We've already booked to return next year and can't wait to go back. Can't recommend it enough!

“Amazing Barn, ideal for group get togethers!”

What an amazing place. I booked the barn for my bestfriends hen party. The barn did not disappoint. It was fabulous inside. All the detail make is all that more amazing. On entering the barn we were hit by the smell of scented candles, a bottle of sparkiling wine and a bowl of fruit. Its the little things that count. The place is stunning. The road to access the barn is a bit bumpy but just drive slowly and I guarantee the barn is worth it.

“Can't wait to book again”

What a place Bookilber Barn is! From the moment you pull into the drive to the minute you close the gate behind you as you leave you feel & see the level of work that has gone into making it something special. When we first started down the long bumpy road I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting much & poor car (a mini) was less than impressed but we stuck with it and had such a wonderful weekend. It's the little touches that matter , when we arrived we opened the door and scented candles filled the air, there was a bottle of fizz on the counter and fresh flowers throughout. Throughout this house there is ample room for all (12 of us) and each corner is finished to such high standards. The grounds are beautiful and the views are stunning, we spent plenty of hours in the hot tub watching the sunset. It was the perfect retreat with something for all. Thank you for having us and we look forward to coming back.

“Can I not give more than 5 stars!?”

Where do I start? My partner, daughter and I were first of our group to arrive and to say we were gobsmacked would be an understatement! Absolutely perfect in every way and set in the beautiful countryside. The 12 of us made good use of the barbecue and hot tub area during our weekend stay and the barn it's self was far spacious enough for us all. The bedrooms were immaculate and lounge space was beautiful. A cot was supplied for our daughter and we loved the little touches... Teddies on the bed, candles lit and sparkling rosé on our arrival and well stocked shelves of family games and books. I particularly enjoyed looking through the history of the barn and how it was rebuilt in 1996. The owners should be so proud! Amazing! Wish we could stay every weekend!

“Magical Luxury Place”

We were part of a group of adult Anglo / American couples that spent a week at the Bookilber Barn. The property is accessed by a two mile bumpy, gravel lane through open fields with not another property in sight. This caused us to question if we were on the right route even though the directions warned us about the access lane. Then all of a sudden this wonderful stone barn appears. It looks nice from the outside. When you step inside you find that you have entered into the world of an imaginative interior designer. The Bookilber Barn is a first class set up. Everything is top drawer. One fact you need to be aware of is that only four of the six bedrooms are suitable for adult couples. This fact was made clear on the owner's web-site but it was not clear on the Sykes Cottages web-site at the time of our booking.

“Wow - Just Wow - the photos don't do it justice”

This was a perfect holiday let for large groups. All bedrooms are of a good size or Enormous in some cases and the downstairs living space was lovely and also large. The large hot tub was especially welcome as we had a wet weekend and didn't venture out too much. The decor of the place is amazing and obviously professionally done and with no expense spared. The whole place has a very luxurious feel about it. The only downside was the 2 mile potholed farm track to the property, but that became an adventure in itself. Emma from Bossdean was very helpful and informative and we were greeted with 2 bottles of bubbly - Bonus !! Would highly recommend it

About the location

SETTLE

Malham 6 miles; Skipton 17 miles; Kendal 25 miles.

The bustling market town of Settle lies at the south west rim of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, nestled beside the largest outcrop of limestone in Britain - a region of scars, cliffs, caves and potholes - amongst some of the most picturesque scenery in North Yorkshire. Tuesday is market day in Settle, when the square is filled with stalls offering a wide variety of crafts and goods. The market place is surrounded by local businesses, the centre being dominated by The Shambles, an historic three storey building with shops on two levels and houses above, and the Town Hall. There is a good selection of restaurants and pubs and a public swimming pool. The Victoria Hall has entertainment and other activities such as folk nights throughout the year. The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway crosses some of the most beautiful and inspiring upland scenery in the country. Natural attractions such as Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are within easy reach, as are the nearby Dales towns of Skipton and Malham. Settle is in the midst of excellent walking country and is a good base for touring the Dales, the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland.
